I am hopeful and enthusiastic.
I believe in second chances. I forgive myself and others. I let go of resentments and regrets. I am at peace with the past and eager to move forward.
I try new things. I am creative and flexible. I start my day with an exercise class instead of my usual run on the treadmill. I eat lunch at a restaurant that just opened. I suggest a stand-up meeting at work or volunteer for an interesting project.
I change my habits. I eat more whole foods and cut down on sugar. I sit less and exercise more. I turn off the TV and work on my hobbies.
I adjust my environment. I make it easier to choose options that keep me strong and healthy.
I spend time with family and friends who have a positive influence on me. I block websites that distract me from more productive activities.
I take risks. I dare to venture out of my comfort zone. I conquer my doubts and fears. I continue to learn and grow.
I update my goals. I clarify my values and priorities. I visualize what I want to do with this stage of my life.
I start out small. I set realistic expectations. Each step leads to greater progress.
Today, I am ready to make a fresh start. I believe in myself and my abilities. I focus my energy on the things I can control. I seize opportunities and enjoy life.
